I wonder if the following is a known issue for many users, or am I the only one struggling with it. I use the hotspot on my phone (HTC Rezound) to get my laptop online. On my laptop I use an email program (Mozilla Thunderbird) that is configured to use Time Warner POP and SMTP servers. The problem is that when using the hotspot I'm unable to send out email via the SMTP server. I get the incoming mail with no problem. Both the POP and SMTP servers work just fine when I use the laptop on my home network. These servers also work as they're supposed to when I send email straight from my phone. This isolates the hotspot as the culprit. I called Verizon techsupport and they offered no solutions, sending me to Time Warner techsupport which, in turn, sent me back to Verizon.
As a result, I pay monthly $30 for a hotspot and can't use email. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
